A Colloquium Review of Re-Inventing the Corporation (Hagerstown, Maryland, May 15, 1986).
Clatterbaugh, John S., Jr.; And Others
This collection contains five papers dealing with trends in changes in the structure and labor needs of corporations in the information age. The Introduction, by Ronald A. Kepple, outlines 10 points for reinventing the corporation in the information age and reviews them in the context of the community college. Forces that are converging to take corporate decision making out of the hands of management are discussed in Thomas W. Dwyer's paper "Revolution in the Workplace.""Needed Skills for the New Information Society," a paper by John S. Clatterbaugh, Jr., examines the feasibility of modifying the current educational system to address a new set of skills, in addition to the "back to basics" skills required in the job market of the new information society. Brenda J. McGolerick discusses the strategies developed by various corporations and educational institutions to reduce health care costs in a paper entitled "Health, Women, and the Information Society Corporation." In the final paper, "Summary and Conclusion," Ronald A. Kepple reviews the main points of the aforementioned papers and discusses why a seller's market will exist in the information society. (MN)
